15 miles

[Charliecat5]

I'm in a hotel, in Newcastle and have spent the whole day working holed up in my room.  This afternoon I was on a Skype call with a client for three hours.  By the time it finished it was dark and I really didn't fancy running down unfamiliar pavements alongside queuing traffic.   So I decided to try out the hotel treadmill - I've never used one before and you've got to try things haven't you?

The first challenge was working out how the massive contraption worked... the second was working out what my pace was in kilometres as I only ever run in miles.   Eventually after several aborted attempts I had programmed in 5 km and we were off.

If you ever want to slow down time - to change the time/space continuum - go running on a treadmill.  I swear that every step forward washed away about a second of my life - never to be found again.   I realise that some people love the old treadmill - but for me I could not get my head around all the effort required to go nowhere.   I've tried it... but it's back outside again for me.  The real world - pavements, cars, pollution, I don't care.  Obviously out in the wilds is best.
